One Million Rising

by Indivisible

Publisher: No Kings

Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just single days of mass action, but sustained organizing in our communities.

That’s why this summer, we’re launching One Million Rising—a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us—and lead.

Democracy Awakening

Notes on the State of America

by Heather Cox Richardson

Publisher: Penguin Random House

At a time when the very foundations of American democracy seem under threat, the lessons of the past offer a road map for navigating a moment of political crisis. In Democracy Awakening, acclaimed historian Heather Cox Richardson delves into the tumultuous journey of American democracy, tracing the roots of Donald Trump’s “authoritarian experiment” to the earliest days of the republic. She examines the historical forces that have led to the current political climate, showing how modern conservatism has preyed upon a disaffected population, weaponizing language and promoting false history to consolidate power.

With remarkable clarity and the same accessible voice that brings millions to her newsletter, Letters from an American, Richardson wrangles a chaotic news feed into a story that pivots effortlessly from the Founders to the abolitionists to Nixon to the January 6 insurrection. An essential read for anyone concerned about the state of America, Democracy Awakening is more than a history book; it’s a call to action. Richardson reminds us that democracy requires constant vigilance and participation from all of us, showing how we, as a nation, can take the lessons of the past to secure a more just and equitable future.

After The Fall

The rise of Authoritarianism in the world we've made

by Bden Rhodes

Publisher: Random House

At a time when democracy in the United States is endangered as never before, Ben Rhodes spent years traveling the world to understand why. He visited dozens of countries, meeting with politicians and activists confronting the same nationalism and authoritarianism that are tearing America apart. Along the way, he discusses the growing authoritarianism of Vladimir Putin, and his aggression towards Ukraine, with the foremost opposition leader in Russia, who was subsequently poisoned and imprisoned; he profiled Hong Kong protesters who saw their movement snuffed out by China under Xi Jinping; and America itself reached the precipice of losing democracy before giving itself a fragile second chance.

In America, we don’t do kings.

We’re a grassroots movement of thousands of local Indivisible groups with a mission to elect progressive leaders, rebuild our democracy, and defeat the Trump agenda.

Indivisible National Organization

How we win

Defeating a multi-decade right-wing takeover of American government ain’t easy. But we’re here to win, and we have a plan. Here’s how we’re doing it:

We Are Indivisible. Our opponents depend on a divide-and-conquer strategy, so we treat an attack on one like an attack on all. We show up for each other, and particularly for those facing the brunt of right-wing ideologues’ attacks – often immigrants, people of color, and low-income people. We share a vision: a real democracy, of, by, and for everyone.

Strong Leaders, Strong Groups, Strong Movement. We build and sustain our movement’s power by helping individuals take leadership. They grow and lead local Indivisible groups, take independent action, and coordinate with their fellow local leaders. As a movement, our power comes from coordinated national campaigns where we act together, indivisible.

Inside/Outside Strategy. We understand systems of power – like how Congress operates – and we work inside them to get results. That complements our outside strategy of locally-based constituent pressure to demand elected leaders, regardless of political party, work for our democracy.

A Virtuous Cycle of Advocacy and Elections. We show up to advocate for policy wins in off-years and get out the vote in election years. These efforts reinforce each other to ensure our democracy works for all of us and that the people in power do too – or we will replace them with electeds who will.

ICE Off Campus: Alumni & Higher Education Organizing Call
Since Trump’s return to office, higher education has been under attack – with schools facing pressure from the administration to curtail free speech and academic freedom, eliminate DEI policies as part of admissions, and limit the number of international students. And now colleges and universities are facing yet another pressing threat: ICE enforcement on campus. We’ve seen ICE terrorize our communities, use intimidation tactics on innocent bystanders, and deploy chemical weapons at schools …

  • New Polling on Ousting Schumer: Necessary Policy and Smart Politics
    The first year of the second Trump administration was defined by horrifying authoritarian abuses from an unpopular regime that were met again and again by courageous resistance from everyday Americans…and cowardice or complicity from elites of every stripe. Despite genuine efforts from a handful of Democrats in congress, their ability to advance real, leave-it-all-on-the-field opposition strategy was repeatedly upended by the feckless leadership of Senate Democrats — and none were more feckless than Leader Chuck Schumer.Senator Schumer isn’t responsible for all of the Democrats’ problems, but in 2025 he became emblematic of the party’s failed status quo: a poor communicator who is out-of-touch […]
  • The arc of the moral universe does not bend on its own
    By Leah Greenberg, Indivisible Co-Founder and Co-Executive DirectorScreengrab via Democracy Now!Martin Luther King Jr. Day arrives this year amid a deliberate effort to rewrite American history and a wholesale assault on civil rights in America.It has been one year since Donald Trump was inaugurated on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It felt cruel and grotesque that a man who represents so much of what Dr. King stood against could rise to power on a day meant to honor the struggle for racial justice and democracy.Over the last year, we have seen a devastating, sustained attack on nearly every facet of the […]
  • We Ain’t Buying It: What we learned
    Over Thanksgiving weekend, tens of thousands of people across the country came together to say “We Ain’t Buying It!” to companies that have capitulated to Trump.From Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday, they participated in a shopping pause at Target, Home Depot, and Amazon, in protest of those retailers completely caving to the Trump administration and going along with their harmful, authoritarian policies.Target rolled back their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policiesHome Depot has done nothing to protect immigrants in their stores as ICE continues to conduct violent raids on their property.Amazon has funded the Trump administration through donations and significantly discounted government […]
  • We are in a battle against fascism. We need fighters, not folders.
    It’s time to turn the page in the Democratic Party.Since his election in 2016, Indivisible has been dedicated to the defeat of Donald Trump and his authoritarian political project. Winning this fight is existential for our country and our communities, and the struggle in 2025 is as stark as it has ever been. Donald Trump rules as a wannabe king, dismantling our democracy with a league of sycophantic enablers at his side. Empowered by techno-fascists, corrupt self-dealing billionaires and corporate cowards, this regime is killing the American experiment with a death by a thousand cuts.We have secret police forces and federal […]
  • Trump’s Big Ugly Bill has passed the Senate. We can still defeat it in the House.
    By Sarah Dohl, Indivisible Chief Campaigns OfficerRemember the night Trump’s first reconciliation bill failed and we saved the Affordable Care Act?I do. It was July 28, 2017.After months of nonstop calls, packed town halls, and rallies in blistering Arizona heat, every sign pointed to defeat. Republicans appeared to have the votes to kill Obamacare, and we had our “we lost” email written, proofed, and ready to send. But we should have known better.Because in those months, weeks, and days leading up to that vote, Indivisibles never stopped fighting.Activists like you showed up at Susan Collins’ Fourth of July parades with signs and bullhorns.

  • The Strategic Logic of the No Kings Protests
    By Leah Greenberg, Indivisible Co-Founder and Co-Executive DirectorOver the last six weeks, we’ve gotten the occasional question about why Indivisible, together with our coalition of incredible partners, called for No Kings Day on June 14.Why another protest? What is it going to accomplish? Shouldn’t we be [insert alternate tactic] instead?These are good-faith questions, and they stem from very reasonable concerns. The speed, scope, and scale of the MAGA assault — on our rights, our neighbors, our democracy — is staggering. The stakes are enormous. There are days when nothing we’re doing feels sufficient to the magnitude of the horrors we face.Protest is a tactic. And with any […]
  • We’re in a constitutional crisis
    via Indivisible Twin Cities on BlueskyWe are in the midst of a full-blown constitutional crisis.That statement has been true nearly every day since January 20, as the administration has usurped the powers of Congress by illegally freezing funds, declared fake emergencies to grant itself more power, and skirted judicial rulings.But Trump’s brazen defiance of a Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from a Salvadoran torture prison is truly a watershed moment for our teetering democracy.To recap:The Trump administration has sent over 238 people (likely far more) to a torture prison in El Salvador without due process. Mounting […]
  • We won in Wisconsin (the people > Musk’s pocketbook)
    Yesterday was a bad day for Elon Musk and Donald Trump and a good day for democracy. Even after Musk spent more than $20 MILLION to buy a seat on Wisconsin’s top court, Susan Crawford won — and the liberal majority on Wisconsin’s Supreme Court is safe!This isn’t just a loss for Trump, Musk, and their lapdog Brad Schimel; it’s a wholesale rejection of oligarchy. The people of this country don’t want their courts stacked with bought-and-paid-for judges who’ll do the bidding of Musk and his billionaire friends. The vote results convey that loud and clear.And this isn’t just a victory for Susan Crawford […]
  • Trump’s newest target: The Department of Education
    screengrab via KHOUToday, Donald Trump signed an executive order that aims to eliminate the Department of Education. Emphasis on “aims to.” Trump cannot unilaterally abolish a federal department created by Congress.Let’s be clear about what this executive order will do: it instructs Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to facilitate the department’s closure while playing legal tricks to avoid a court making them stop. This approach indicates that the executive order is a preliminary step toward dismantling the department, setting the stage for further actions rather than causing an immediate shutdown.Trump’s goal here is to weaken the department (and thus public education), […]
  • We need real leadership. Schumer must step aside.
    When Republicans first introduced their partisan funding bill to keep the government open — full of extreme cuts, attacks on basic rights, and provisions to give even more authority to Trump and Musk to continue dismantling the federal government — it was clear that the fight to stop it would require Democrats to operate with real unity.Federal employee unions, litigators fighting Trump in court, outside advocates, House Democrats, many Democratic party insiders, and Indivisible were all in lockstep that passing this bill would be worse than a government shutdown. The GOP funding bill would give Trump and Musk carte blanche to continue their administrative coup, […]
